I'm not entirely unsympathetic, the towpath is entirely unsuitable for anything much above a pedestrian trundle yet the number of whazzoks about is very high.
Backstop-
I agree with this. I do enjoy riding towpaths but they're not appropriate and people don't know how to behave properly. I wouldn't be upset if it was banned for bikes.
I remember some toolbag came screaming past a friend and I once. We were riding too but both commented how unnecessary and fast he came past. As we turned the next corner we saw him fishing himself out the canal. Much joyous later followed.

Bloke walking along the towpath this morning swinging his arms at people going past him on bikes. Not quite trying to hit or push people, but putting his arms out as if trying to stop people going past.
Near Mare Street. Seemed drunk, I didn't fancy confronting him tbh so carried on and warned people heading towards him in the other direction. I was a bit later than usual, anybody know if this is this a regular character?
